Please be specific; the link between the financial crisis and a hypothetical FedCoin is not at all obvious.

The connection is that this is the same person making both predictions.

Not OP, but I think the point being made is that his prior judgement on financial matters doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

That said, I have some sympathy for any policy maker giving public statements in an overheated economy: the seeds of the crisis have already been laid and the statements one makes may actually precipitate the crisis rather than avoid it...
